Katamari Damacy

I've been playing this really crazy Japanese video game on the PS2. It's a fucking hilarious game with a weird as shit plot line. The stars fall out of the sky and it is your job to roll this katamari (sticky ball) around and pick up stuff and make big katamari balls. As your katamari gets bigger with stuff you can pick up bigger things. From thumbtacks to buildings. When you've made your katamari big enough your dad (king of the cosmos) turns the katamari into a star. The game is



incredibly simple to play and just hilarious. I think the designers were shrooming when they made it. The prince has a space mushroom that he can go to. There are big mushrooms all throughout the game and the size of the katamari is registered by a big psychedelic tie dye orb pulsating in the corner. It's one of those games that's distinctly Japanese. The best part of the game is that it was $19.95. And since I traded in some games it was even less.
